Stop selling info and do this instead

Gone are the days where we can simply package information into something and put a price on it. There are ways, however, to position your expertise, serve an audience and generate revenue, which I'll share with you in this video.

    This is so tiring. One video someone says this, other videos are saying SELL INFORMATION and other videos people are making a ton of money from their courses. It's all about this. Build your audience and be genuine. Take whatever path YOU WANT. You can be successful at any path you choose if you put in the work. People will always buy from people they like.

    Agreed - I am part of a community of 400 coaches / consultants and info-product sellers that are all doing 7 / 8 / 9 figures... why say that it doesn't work? That is a play taken from page 1 of the traditional scarcity info-marketing tactic handbook. There are people running successful 7/8/9 figure businesses in pretty much every vertical / niche / biz model out there.

    The point is that information alone does not work as well as it used to. The better or easier option (especially for starters) is to sell a service maybe with some info packed in. The idea is that you can reach your first income/revenue goals much faster by selling less at a higher price VS low ticket info. Once this machine is working and you understand your audience, THEN you can add in info products / workshops or whatever to the mix. It’s also easier to add these products after doing some DFY cause with DFY you quickly learn and understand your clients needs and that gives you the knowledge and IP you need to create great info products. These products can then be used to attract new people into your audience as free or paid leads magnets and potentially also make you a good amount of money over time. (This can be done from the start together with DFY, your chance of creating a good product is just lower) But starting with info products alone to build wealth or whatever your goal might be would probably be harder and take longer for 99% of people.

    I had initially planned to retire at 62, work part-time, and save money, but the impact of high prices on various goods and services has significantly disrupted my retirement plan. I'm worried about whether those who experienced the 2008 financial crisis had it easier than I currently am. The volatility of the stock market is a concern as my income has decreased, and I fear that I won't be able to contribute as much as before, potentially jeopardizing my retirement savings.

I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

    A main reason courses are not selling is because there are so many terrible courses, not because information is free. People are wising up. Every time someone buys a course that is garbage, they are less likely to buy another one. I would say only 10% or courses are any good, if that.

Reason for this is because of marketing.

    I took an online course in 2021. The course creator made you finish the course by holding you accountable and giving you something at the end of the course for completing it. The course content lasted only 21 days, but if you did all the assignments, you got to keep the course content. Most people finished it and then signed up for his second course. His course was successful and a lot of his students were successful but if they were struggling, he came up with free and paid ways to help the strugglers - extra free course, coaching, mastermind groups, etc.

    Retention in MOOCs and online courses has been studied for a while. There are many reasons people don't complete them. Anyone trying to create and sell online courses should have experience and/or training in adult education principles. The industry is shifting because people are sick of trying to learn something from someone who might not know how to teach. I highly suggest the book, "The Adult Learner" by Malcolm Knowles for anyone wanting to develop a successful online course / education-based business.

    The main principles of what to stop selling and what to start selling instead, according to the video, are: Stop selling: 1. Information/Online courses alone Start selling: 1. Implementation 2. Accountability 3. Community The main points mentioned in the order they appear are: 1. People are not buying online courses like they used to, and completion rates are abysmal (5-15%). 2. Information alone is no longer valuable because there is too much free information available. 3. What is scarce and valuable today is time, so sell implementation instead of just information. 4. Three ways to sell implementation: a. Do it for them (service-based business) b. Do it with them (coaching/consulting with accountability) c. Do it with others (community/cohorts for accountability) 5. Convert the convenience, not just the information. 6. Understand the differentiation between what you offer and free information. 7. Proof is priceless (use case studies and transformations). 8. If starting out, use the "1-1-1 strategy" to get proof and results.

    The speaker, Pat Flynn, suggests three ways that creators can sell implementation instead of information: Do it for them: This means providing a service where you do the work for the customer. For example, if you teach people how to build websites, you could offer a service where you build websites for them. Do it with them: This means coaching or consulting with customers to help them achieve their goals. For example, if you teach people how to lose weight, you could offer coaching services to help them create a weight loss plan and stick to it. Do it with others: This means creating a community or cohort where people can learn from each other and hold each other accountable. For example, if you teach people how to start a business, you could create a community forum where people can ask questions and share tips. Flynn believes that these methods are more effective than selling information because they provide more value to the customer. Customers are more likely to succeed if they have someone to help them implement what they learn.

    In the start of 2023, I intended to publish a course and sell it. I've been freelancing for almost two years by then. But for some reason, I could never record the videos for my courses. Later that year, I made a change. I started hiring people to get some of the work done. When I started doing that, the growth was almost immediate. I was able to grow my team, revenue, and this year, I officially started my own company helping early-stage startup founders 10x their marketing results with half the budget using freelancers in the Philippines and leveraging AI workflows. And for me, selling execution is a lot more fun. This video confirmed my decision! So happy that I followed my gut.

    I agree that selling useful services will do very well. The problem is that to sell services it requires the providers time, 1:1 in proportion to the service rendered, as opposed to selling knowledge (or other digital products) which can be done once and sold multiple times. I think that is what a majority of people are trying to do by starting a youtube channel or selling courses/ebooks. Still, it was a great video and provided some food for thought! Just making any content doesn't work anymore, it has to be information that is not out there yet and that solves a specific problem.

    Hi Pat, you showed a graph of "change in revenue" to support your argument that selling online courses was no longer working. However, the graph went down to +0.6% change in revenue, meaning that your revenue was still growing. So essentially you were still making more or less the same amount of revenue as you were during the pandemic. I would interpret that to mean that online courses are still a very attractive revenue model. BR, Christoph

    Hi Pat! This video was so helpful - thank you! I completely agree - this message is invaluable for me as I'm creating my health coaching program. Just curious, I love the way you did the rectangular talk bubble as you shared your screen - can you share what app or software you used for that?

    It's same concept coaching also is information and the thing is about course completion percentage it's same since long time the issue with online course is very long so many chapters if the course is short and consize it will be better

    As someone who buys a lot of course.. Just because, I've also been thinking about this. I don't complete and sometimes I wish I could just get someone to just do it for me. Initially I thought I was using it as an excuse not to start but it was a legit concern. I agree that implementation is the way to go. Now I just need to figure this out for my relationship knowledge set and experience.

    Hi Pat - super helpful video and as someone that has been in SPI and taken the community building course this is a very helpful reminder. Question, any suggestions on how we can make CBCs more passive or less manual? Especially if giving custom feedback to students on docs or a mock interview are part of the current live curriculum?

    Back in the day, rock stars first made their money mostly from live events, and records used to be a way of promoting themselves. By the 1970s, it was the other way around. Bands toured to promote their latest albums. By the time Napster came around and people could get music for free, the music industry was up in arms... When the music industry realized it was basically a losing battle, they went back to making most of their money through live events again. Only this time, they charge much higher ticket prices and make tons selling merchandise at concerts. Seems like a similar business model.

    So many courses sell the transformation and fail to share HOW to actually step by step get there. They up sell the course gap, that they sold you on buying the first one. If you dont buy the next level, your failure is because you didn't buy the upsell. If you call them out in their "community", they ban you (and dont refund you since its past the small refund window)

    I work at an automation company for a specific segment (event promoters) we give away a lot of information that used to be gated or paid and make money when we give people their time back via automations. I think this could be more hands-on via Zapier and other tools, like automation agencies. Doesn’t have to be fully fledged software like us.

    I am building something similar myself but for another segment. I first thought about selling an automation template for people to use. The challenge is that the person/company will have to then pay for the individual services that my template will automate. As of this week, I am leaning towards just providing the automation for them. Working on how to build the front end for this service and pricing.

    Again there are different levels - perhaps your info course has specific emails that fire out to help people implement on parts that you know people get stuck at, or office hours, or they have to claim a date to get the result by, etc. implementing doesn’t mean you do it for them necessarily 💪

    Pat this is amazing, you however have some type of EMF interference on your audio. You probably have a power brick or the XLR cable from the mic, too close to a power outlet or something like that. If you set that channel to monitor and put on some headphones and turn up the volume you, youre going to hear it. If you move your XLR cable around, you should be able to eliminate the noise.
